CU Clemson Tigers Public Spirited Historic Scenic Welcoming Friendly

South Carolina’s highest-ranked national university, Clemson University sits at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains surrounded by its own Experimental Forest, overlooking the shores of Hartwell Lake. Founded in 1889, Clemson is focused on science and engineering with a dedication to teaching, research, and service. Clemson is known for excellence in the classroom as well as on the field. The Clemson Tigers compete in the NCAA Division I Atlantic Coast Conference with exuberant support from the community.

Plenty of apartments, cottages, townhomes, and single-family homes are available for rent near Clemson as the market caters to the needs of the university. Consider housing options near Old Greenville Highway and Highway 28 for ultimate convenience to campus. If you prefer to be close-but not too close-to campus, choose a neighboring city like Central, Seneca, Utica, Keowee, Norris, and Pendleton, all of which are only a few miles from Clemson.

The Underground Recreation Center, Brooks Center for the Performing Arts, intramural sports, and over 400 student organizations ensure there is always something to do on Clemson’s campus. Weekend getaways are easy to plan with the mountains being less than an hour’s drive away and both Atlanta and Charlotte each being a two-hour drive from Clemson.
